Server Spoofing

We occassionally see privately owned servers setup to look like one of our Official Servers.

This has caused confusion among a small number of players who believed that they were on a Keen owned server. This could obviously bring Keen into disripute if the owner were to falsely claim to be affiliated with Keen.

To achieve this, you just need to start a new server and follow Keen's naming convention for World Name and Server Name.

Currently, the only way to spot this is that the false server will not have a Star next to it's name. This is complicated ny the fact that Keen's servers will randomly loose their Star status and look like a fake.

Another issue to this is that servers can be set up to have any name they like, be it offensive or obscene.
